We really should be able to glamour other jobs' sets

[OgruMogru]

It's really REALLY weird how only one question gotten over to yoshiP, he missinterpreted it and then there was radio silence about the subject untill this day. Usually if they have any reason to say no, they would acknowledge this. Unless the reason is something like "we cannot unlock glam to make all class mog station items sell better"

Well I think misunderstandings happen easily especially in that Q&A format where the person asking can't interrupt to clarify what they meant. I also could just chalk it up to him being exhausted from doing whatever liveletter presentation it was or being asked about Smn Egi glams for the 6000th time a few questions before. I dunno man, personally I don't even really consider weapons when I'm talking about glam and it's normally the last thing I'm worried about I just wanna make full use of like...slightly different shaped hems or gloves from other classes. We just gotta keep shouting into the void, I guess!

This should be allowed. This is such a non-issue. All other MMOs don't have this type of restriction at all, and it's fine.

This is just like one of those traditionalists complaint --> remember when ARR first launched, everybody was against the implementation of Jump. This was because in FFXI, characters couldn't Jump. And when devs announced this feature, everyone was complaining, "Please no, we will see people jumping jumping, like rabbits, all over Limsa, it's annoying".

There are even suggestions, "how about a cooldown for Jump? You can only jump every 5 seconds" (if you don't believe me, search this site's archives forum).

Then it was implemented. And? What? Nothing happened right. It's normal.

10 years passed. And what? No one even remembers anymore.

After a while, things will become normal. It's such a non-issue. Just implement it.

Omg I swear, super sweaty veteran MMO players are literally the pure scum of the genre. Takes like these are not only present in FFXIV.

Did you know so many people in Classic WoW are so much againsy transmog/glamour being a thing in general? They always come up with odd excuses that nobody else cares to justify abscence in both QoL and fun features.

I really don't get it. If you don't like it, don't use it. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to glamour your character.

If you meet the requirements for a piece of armor on any class you should be able to use it as a glamour for any class. It is isnt like there is not already a huge amount of gear shared across all classes or large class groups. Or a large amount of armor reuse on new classes it didn't appear for before.

Why should I be restricted from using casting boots from Troia on a SAM if I want to glamour that and have a properly leveled to 90 casting class? Why can't I use the level 5 leather eye patch on a healing class? Who does this hurt?

So sadly

Tataru's questline

did not result in the Glamour paradigm shift I was (quite fancifully, admittedly) speculating it would...

[EliaStormblade]

If I, as a tank, can glam an elephant outfit, then I should be able to glam chainmail, leather and cloth as well.

If I, as a healer, can glam a heavy plate set from the Malmstone rewards, then I should be able to glam heavy armor as well.

The only exceptions I can think of are DoW/DoM artifact sets. Those are tied to jobs and therefore should be specific to them. Otherwise? I think it should be free game.

I completely agree with this thread.

It's also not like you can say the glamour of another class creates an "unfair advantage" or anything by misleading other players either.

In PvE it literally doesn't matter. Even if I should mistake someone's class because their frog-hat-christmas-coat-2B-boots glam combo doesn't tell me at first glance they are a summoner it will not affect my gameplay or my own success whatsoever (and there is always the party list).

It doesn't affect pvp either because the class is already easily identifiable by its respective icon next to the player name. Also, here too we can have "nonsense" glam that doesn't match the opponent's class. And at least personally it never happened to me that I had to identify another person's class based on their outfit, esp. with all that fast-paced gameplay and chaotic visuals going on distracting you anyways. I just look at their names/class icons or I learn it the painful way by getting hit and thinking "yep, that was the dragoon".

[Tsiron]

It drives me crazy there's really no downsides to doing it. It would make the game that much more fun for people who want it, and have no real impact on those who don't as they're free to abide by the restrictions still, if they so choose... Might even make a dent in the number of players who just run around in casual glams or etc. just for convenience of being able to use them on multiple Jobs...

[Aiyakiu]

I can understand not allowing other classes to use artifact gear, but after the animal suits and very tank-looking armor from two PvP series, and the cyberpunk sets, I honestly feel like keeping the glamour separate makes no sense anymore.

[Tsiron]

I think it'd be a waste to exclude AF gear, frankly, not because I care about individual Jobs' aesthetic as a whole but because there's some really nice pieces I feel could be put to good use (e.g. SCH having some of the nicest short skirts in the game)

definitely not repeating what's already been said over and over just to bump the thread
